What you NEED for SPRING!

I always hate it when someone asks me "If there is only one thing you could have this spring, what would it be?" That is like buying a big bag of chips and eating just one!! It is such a difficult question to answer for any season. I most always answer the question with a very vague answer. And as for spring 2011, my answer is just as vague as ever. Anything in a bright but light color will be my must have this season. Does everyone know what I mean by that? 

See my examples below:

I just purchased this Ceramide Plump Perfect lipstick in Flamingo by Elizabeth Arden today. I was on the hunt for the perfect pink. Yes it is bright, but it is light and almost neon. Can't wait to try it out! I really wanted a color like this model is wearing in the photos below. I think I found it :)


I knew this was "THE ONE" when I saw this Lanvin denim flowered tote. Magnificent! 

I am absolutely DYING over this bubble back tee shirt blouse by Jil Sander! Isn't it AMAZING?!

These looks from Jil Sander for spring 2011 make me feel so happy. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the COLORS.

 I just picked up this Revlon nail polish in "posh pink" today. It truly is the most perfect pink!

This Stuart Weitzman ballet flat would look so cool with my black ankle jeans!

This pink satin suit by Marc Jacobs just might be the one thing I would have to own for spring 2011.........if I could, I would.

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...

What Is Your Style?

Blouse, jeans and belt are from Talbots . Shoes are from Zulily . Handbag and earrings are vintage .  What is your style? Do you ask yourself this question from time to time and come up short of an answer? I am here to tell you not to worry about this. I agree with Kate Spade's quote "Your style is a work in progress." You are always evolving, and that is a very good thing! I struggle with defining my style completely. Even though I lean towards classic clothing with a bit of a preppy feel, I don't like to define myself as such. If I define myself under one particular umbrella, I feel like I stifle myself from possibly exploring something new. One thing I know for certain is that I truly believe that you cannot go wrong with classic pieces, as they are the backbone of our wardrobe. For example; you might love romantic styles with lots of lace and ruffles, but without adding a classic piece such as a blazer or a pair of jeans with your lacy/ruffly blouse, you co...

Do you think your hairstyle defines you?

JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content. Don't get me wrong. I love long hair. In fact, I love long hair on both men and women. I have had long hair before. As a child I had long hair that my mother used to braid daily. I would sit in front of the TV watching Tom & Jerry while she perfectly created two long French braids on either side of my head. Although, I love my mother, I hated this moment. It hurt when she brushed out my hair. It hurt when she was braiding because she would make then so perfectly tight that I could feel my eyes pulling back. She is a perfectionist and wanted her little girl to look nice not have messy hair! Which I appreciated. However, I couldn't wait for my hair doing time to be over with so I could go play. The hair washing, the brushing, the combing, the styling was not something I enjoyed, but I did appreciate looking nice. As I got older I actually began to enjoy styling my hair. I lov...
